Olive Oil racket

Post by CabriniGreen »

An old New Yorker article


https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007 ... siness/amp

In 1997 and 1998, olive oil was the most adulterated agricultural product in the European Union, prompting the E.U.’s anti-fraud office to establish an olive-oil task force. (“Profits were comparable to cocaine trafficking, with none of the risks,” one investigator told me.)

This kinda shocked me a little..... I see how the Piromallis got so rich now....

Question...

1. Colavita? Profaci? Still?

2. Any other families in on this racket? Maybe Cali through his food companies?
